id get an adjustable bench so you can do incline and or decline.

dips are a good idea as well. would also be interested to see their pulley system as it could be worth a look at.

quality and price i dont know about.

I would be inclined not to listen to what the side of a protein container says about serving sizes...

of course they are goin to say "take 3 scoops" 3 times a day. They are trying to sell the crap.

figure out how much protein u need a day, usually 1 gram for every pound of body weight (kg x2.2) then use the protein to fill in the gaps between meals, thats why its a "supplement"

Theres no use having a 100 grams of protein in one hit, it needs to spread out through the day

Good point. As with any information you have to consider the source!

I've found 2 scoops of Torrent is enough for me, not the 3 prescribed, especially as I often take Vitargo during the session, so that'd be way too many carbs when taken together.

god damned OS trips... just got back from Thailand for a friends wedding... 10 days spent drinking and eating nonstop and I feel like garbage... fat garbage... just a note, flopping around in a pool/ocean cannot possibly burn off 8 litres of booze and enough Pad Thai to feed every starving child in Africa...

f**k you Ectos...;)

grass is always greener hey... hate having to eat like a medieval orphan but at the same time like it when people stop what they're doing to watch you lift

goal for this year is to have both... look and feel lean while lifting enough iron to affect the earths gravitational pull... after 6 weeks of good work I've fallen off the tracks... weaksauce... time to put down the beer and open a can of harden the f**k up

because your body digests x amount of protein per hour regardless of how much you give it.

So you prefer to load a ton of protein in one meal, and piss out 80% of it instead?? It's not hard to space your protein out over the course of the day.

Why wouldn't you take a slow release protein source before bed? Your catabolic period overnight must be quite significant closedeyes.gif

...I see no logic here

Yea i have no idea what his argument is

anyone here tried doing slow reps? get the set to last near 70seconds. I have been giving it a go and cannot lift near the same amount of weight.

example is for bench 3seconds down, at at the bottom and 1 second up.

recommend giving it a go for a change.

I find slow reps or negatives are both good if you've got a minor injury or are feeling flat and can't push a heavier weight; you can still get an awesome workout while also changing it up a bit and keep the body guessing.

On the protein argument I've also read that those of us who take a lot of additional protein need to make sure we are getting plenty of calcium intake (i.e. through milk, or other sources, in other words check your protein supplement to make sure there is calcium in there as well). This is because the body uses calcium for protein synthesis. You don't want a calcium deficiency.

I never said I loaded up on protein... no shit it isn't hard to space it out over the day, I just said you didn't have to. You don't piss out protein...

Why wouldn't I take "slow release" protein before bed? I dunno maybe the fact that by the time I goto fkn bed I've already hit my protein macros for the day so there's a shitload that will be released over the night.

Dude I suggest you do some research before posting...

"When a high dietary protein intake is consumed, there is an increase in urea excretion, which suggests that amino acid oxidation is increased.."

It depends on the types of protein you're consuming, unless you've been consuming a lot of slow-release proteins throughout the day, your overnight release won't last nearly as long as consuming something like casein before bed (4-6 hours release).

In response to slow reps, I always lower the weight slowly, and explode on the way up. Muscle fibres tear on the eccentric phase (shortening phase), so for example lowering the weight during a bicep curl is more important than raising it.

While on this topic, has anyone here gotten a friend to push down (encourage the negative phase of the lift) on a bar, etc. while you try to resist? It's like super negatives lol, crazy hypertrophy results

    • If you get 12v at one of the relay pins with IGN on, and 12v at another for about 3 sec when you turn the key from ACC to start, then yes you can just earth the relay trigger pin. Just have a look at the top of the relay, it should tell you which pin needs earth when the 12v signal is sent (or if it's not clear, just post the pic and we can work it out). If you always have 12v at 2 pins with IGN on, they it is earth triggered by the ECU which makes it harder to fix (you really need to check the ECU pin is earthing when it should, and if so it is a wiring issue from there to the relay.

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
